Good Luck for the future Brian and Jackie. Enjoy your well deserved retirement :)-D

Despite all the b*llocks about who are the worst road users, the bus driver has responsibilities far greater than those of the cyclist. He is PAID to drive a bus, not HIS bus! He has direct radio link to a central control, who can call the police for him, an alarm on the bus to alert others to his situation and can lock himself into his cab (to a degree). He is also responsible for his passengers and their safety. Irrespective of the initial and continuing incident, his actions should render him to be arrested and sacked.

Or C. Hand the driver his P45

In the spirit of the season

I urgently needed a few days off work, But I knew the Boss would not allow me to take leave. I thought that maybe if I acted crazy, then he would tell me to take a few days off. So I hung upside-down on the ceiling and made funny noises, My co-worker ( who's blonde ) asked me what I was doing, I told her that I was pretending to be a light bulb so, that the Boss might think I was crazy, and give me time off. A few minutes later, the Boss came into the office and asked; What in the name of God are you doing?' I told him that I was a light bulb. He said: 'You are clearly stressed out - go home and rest for a couple of days,' I jumped down and walked out of the office..... When my co-worker ( the blonde ) followed me the Boss asked her; ' And where do you think you're going?!' She said 'I'm going home too, I can't work in the dark !'

Tragic :(

Surely the relevance is in the title. But of course you're right it's not my place to interpret your meaning. So, what's your point? Do you want a paved footpath diagonally crossing the common that has nothing to do with a proposed cycle path? Fortunately, although it doesn't extend to mind reading, I have enough vision to see beyond my ego, so am not particularly hurt by your putting me firmly in my place ;-) Oh and another thing. I went to The Hisar on Lordship Lane for lunch with a few friends today. The food was great and the service excellent. I'd highly recommend it :) (I know, not relevant, but there you go :)) Peace Out!)

What am I? Some sort of orienteering jehovah's witness? Watchtower, map, compass! The diagonal desire line across the common, the one created by various pedestrians, cyclists and runners isn't being considered for paving for use as a footpath or as a cycle path and again is not relevant to this thread. The proposed cycle path, is to run the length of the common parallel to Peckham Rye East, where the existing desire line has been created by runners! Runners preferring to run on grass than pavement, so construction of a new path wouldn't change the runners wish to run on grass and another desire line alongside would be created by them. The proposed cycle path would have TFL funding and is a highways issue. I agree entirely that revisiting the road and making changes there would be the way forward.

Sorry, 68 bus? You mean the Euston - West Norwood via Camberwell and Herne Hill route? Nope, guess you're right. I have no idea why a path across/along Peckham Rye would be made by anyone attempting to get from the 68 bus to Brockley/Nunhead. I was referring to the desire line that runs parallel to the footpath along Peckham Rye East. The other desire line that runs from The Aura building to the Kings on the Rye corner of the common wouldn't be affected one way or the other by the proposed cycle path, so isn't relevent in this thread. I prefer to run on pavements than grass, but then again that is covered in another thread, which you'll find in the What's On in East Dulwich section of this site if you're concerned with my exercise regime. edited for incorrect use of the word your ;)

Not quite, the money was used to add changing facilities to the already funded cafe building, not to build the cafe itself. It also paid for the temporary (5 year)changing rooms behind the cafe. Which of course has nothing to do with the proposed cycle path. :) The desire line/mud path running along PR East has nothing to do with cyclists or pedestrians, it's been created by joggers preferring to run on grass than pavement, so wouldn't be addressed by paving anyway.

Peckham Rye - But some of my best friends are Friern-ites ;-)

Here's a consultation plan from last years attempt at installing the road, from the posters pinned to trees around the park and common, not much has changed.

FWIW: I'd rather see improvements made to the existing paths crossing the Rye, than what will essentially be a 3m wide road going the full length of Peckham Rye East. It will be a commuter benefit only and what should be regarded as a highways issue, not parks and not in keeping with the principal of Metropolitan Open Land. (Thinking outloud: Try getting planning permission to pave over your front garden for a drive nowadays.) TM & AFN I think you're at different locations. The old Paddling Pool site on Peckham Rye East overlooked by Aura Court is currently being returned to the common in the form of a wildflower meadow. Not sure what the 'fabricated' antisocial behaviour is. Could it have been the late night drinking and shouting that used to take place there regularly? Residents overlooking the old Lido site had asked for a kickabout area on that site.

Cycle Path Peckham Rye East? A Public Meeting At The Harris Girls Academy , Homestall Road 7.00pm on Tuesday 2nd December. Come and see some views of the proposed scheme and have your say!!

The Sensitive Man A woman meets a man in a bar. They talk, they connect, they end up leaving together. They get back to his place and as he shows her around his apartment. She notices that one wall of his bedroom is completely filled with soft, sweet, cuddly teddy bears. There are three shelves in the bedroom with hundreds and hundreds of cute, cuddly teddy bears carefully placed in rows, covering the entire wall! It was obvious that he had taken quite some time to lovingly arrange them and she was immediately touched by the amount of thought he had put into organizing the display. There were small bears all along the bottom shelf,medium-sized bears covering the length of the middle shelf, and huge, enormous bears running all the way along the top shelf. She found it strange for an obviously masculine guy to have such a large collection of Teddy Bears. She is quite impressed by his sensitive side,but doesn't mention this to him. They share a bottle of wine and continue talking and after a while, she finds herself thinking, 'Oh my God! Maybe, this guy could be the one! Maybe he could be the future father of my children?' She turns to him and kisses him lightly on the lips He responds warmly. They continue to kiss, the passion builds and he romantically lifts her in his arms and carries her into his bedroom where they rip off each other's clothes and make hot, steamy love. She is so overwhelmed that she responds with more passion, more creativity, more heat than she has ever known. After an intense, explosive night of raw passion with this sensitive guy, they are lying there together in the afterglow. The woman rolls over, gently strokes his chest and asks coyly, 'Well, how was it?' The guy gently smiles at her, strokes her cheek, looks deeply into her eyes, and says: 'Help yourself to any prize from the middle shelf' --------------------

Get on yer bikes! It's what Boris wants!

oops, Busted by Moos. ;-)

Good ole Boris, getting rid of all the more than half empty buses. Now he just needs to get rid of the virtually empty 7am - 7pm and 24hr ridiculous bus lanes. Fixing all the roads now! What a good egg! It's going to be a pleassure to drive again soon. I wonder if suggesting rephasing the traffic lights in London to help traffic flow instead of clogging it would be a good idea! >:D

Angela is aware of this thread. CPC is not the only dog walking company to use the park and after speaking to her staff, does not believe they were responsible for this incident.

No the 57 was from another quote. I can't remember the amount promised in 'Best Value' when it was introduced, but there seems to be some sort of combined park/street warden service now, with only 12 dedicated to the boroughs parks.

Fixed penalty notices are already being issued in parks by the Park Wardens (only 12 of them for the borough rather than 57) at ?80 a pop. Or should that be poop? PGC contact the Park Wardens with your concerns and ask them to do an early morning campaign.

Cafe 2050 is on Forest Hill Rd. A few doors along from the CO-OP. And I agree thier brownies are delicious
